At least he won’t face Tsitsiloo (my new name for Tsitsipast or a ruder version Tsitsipoo.) I’m sure he will get plenty of match practices and progress to the latter stages.

Does anyone know if it will be shown on Amazon Prime?

[Jane]

Does anyone know if it will be shown on Amazon Prime?

I wouldn't think so, but challenger events are usually shown live in the Challenger section of the ATP website.

[Jan]

Or if the ATP website fails, they show the same matches on https://livestream.com/atp

(I used to find that watching on the ATP website was ok until a match ended, then they obviously did something that affected the other matches being shown, so I had to go back and find the one I was watching again. The livestream link doesn't do that. Of course, the ATP website might be fine now - it's been a while since I used it!)

It would be so much easier if they did!

[Mickey]

It would be so much easier if they did!
I doubt it.

[banskogirl]

I doubt it.

I know :sad:

Andy plays not before 18.45 tomorrow (Monday) - 17.45 U.K.

[Sallydaisy]

Liam Broady was scheduled to play Singles and Doubles (partnering Stakhovsky)
He was on the OOP to play against Stakhovsky in R1 but the Russian has pulled out
so Liam will now play a Q/LL in R1 and unfortunately won't be in the doubles.

[Sallydaisy]

Liam Broady will now play Qualifier Alessandro Bega ITA WR 386 (CH 259 in 2016)
in R1 of the Rennes Challenger.
They play tomorrow Tuesday 14th September, 6th after a 9.30am start or 3rd after 13.30 depending on which is sooner.

R2: Liam Broady WR145 v [7]Grégoire Barrère (FRA) WR148 (CH80 in Oct 2019)

[jackie55]

Does anyone know when Andy's next match will be?

[Sallydaisy]

Does anyone know when Andy's next match will be?
As shown on the Stickied thread adjacent to this one in Andy Rules.
The clue is in the Title ...
;)

[Sallydaisy]

Soon be Andy time ...

They seem to have booted the all French doubles match off Centre Court where there'd have been a match between Yellow and Red!!!
Giquel/Rouge (Red) v Mahut/Jaune (Yellow).
;)

[Sallydaisy]

Well done Liam Broady for keeping the British flag flying in Rennes.
:GBflag:

Liam beat 7th seed Grégoire Barrère FRA WR148 (CH 80 in 2019), 7-6(7) 4-6 6-4

[suttontennis]

Think Liam is the most improved male Brit this season. He's very consistent at that level. Benefited from the Brits events during lockdown.

[patmoren]

The Battle of The Brits was a great way of mixing the younger players with the more experienced, great for both and a team spirit really developed.

[Sallydaisy]

Liam Broady v [3] Benjamin Bonzi is last on Centre Court today, eta 7.45pm UK time.

OOP, Local times - approximate:-
SF - 11.00: Stevens/Van Rijthoven d Nedunchezijan/Raja
SF - follows: Gengel/Machac d Lamasine/Simon
QF - 14.00: Moraing GER v Gabashvili RUS
QF - 17.00: [2] Rinderknech FRA leads [6] Pouille FRA by 1 set. 6-3.
QF - 18.45: [1] Gasquet FRA v Safiullin RUS
QF - follows: Broady GBR v [3] Bonzi FRA

[clancy]

So sadly Liam loses to Bonzi; Gasquet beats Safiullin. Hope Andy is ok for the coming week. x
